Debounce that applies to all buttons?

[ImADumbN00bLol (Calli)]

Hello Roblox Developer Community! I’ve got quite a tricky problem and I am hoping some of you can find a solution. You see, I’m trying to make teleport buttons. However I want to make it so theres a cooldown before pressing it again. How would I also make it so you can’t press every button until the cooldown is over. Let me know how I would be able to solve this. Thank you!

This is actually a pretty simple problem, try:

local debounce = false
local cooldown = 1 -- How long you want the cooldown to be

local function teleport()
	if debounce = false then
		debounce = true -- Any other attempts will be canceled with the line of code above until debounce = false
		
		-- Do your teleport stuff here
		
		task.wait(cooldown) -- Waiting until cooldown is complete until allowing more teleport requests
		debounce = false
	end
end)

-- Here you could call the function like "button.touched:Connect(teleport())" or something

By the way “debounce” is what people use to say they don’t want multiple requests in a period of time and is the standard term.

same code basically …

local db=true
function teleport()
	if db then db=false
	
		--teleport

		task.wait(3)
		db=true
	end
end

if they are going to a different game the wait could be 6
And here is a link to an open source teleport that is a bit more fancy.
^-- this is a test program for passing gear. Just look at the teleport parts.

You said “Debounce that applies to all buttons”… Just use this technique for each button.

Hey Developer! Here’s a code that could help you, if you have any issues with the code let me know:)

local teleportButton = script.Parent
local cooldownTime = 10
local isCooldown = false

local function teleportPlayer()
    if not isCooldown then
        -- Perform teleportation logic here

        -- Start cooldown
        isCooldown = true
        for time = cooldownTime, 1, -1 do
            -- Update cooldown timer UI label
            teleportButton.TextLabel.Text = tostring(time)
            wait(1)
        end
        teleportButton.TextLabel.Text = "Teleport" -- Reset UI label
        isCooldown = false -- Cooldown is over, allow button press again
    end
end

teleportButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(teleportPlayer)

Debounce is a technique the actual variable is being used as a flag.
